Step-by-step explanation:

If you are dividing a fraction, the divisor will become it's reciprocal and the division sign will change to a multiplication sign.

Solution (a):

  • 3 ÷ 1/4 = 12
  • => 3 x 4 = 12
  • => 12 = 12 [True]

Solution (b):

  • 7 ÷ 1/2 = 1/14
  • => 7 x 2 = 1/14
  • => 14 ≠ 1/14 [False]

Solution (c):

  • 1/5 ÷ 4 = 20
  • => 1/5 x 1/4 = 20
  • => 1/20 ≠ 20 [False]

Solution (d):

  • 1/2 ÷ 5 = 5/2
  • => 1/2 x 1/5 = 5/2
  • => 1/10 ≠ 5/2 [False]

Solution (e):

  • 1/7 ÷ 3 = 1/21
  • => 1/7 x 1/3 = 1/21
  • => 1/21 = 1/21 [True]

Final Answer(s)
